226. Clivicola riparia. Bank Swallow. — Common sum- 

 mer resident in suitable localities especially in the Tidewater 

 region, arriving in April and departing in September; breeds. 

 Common near Buckhannon, West Virginia. Mr. Scott found it 

 common in places in Kanawha County, and breeding in the high 

 banks of the Kanawha river. 



227. Stelgidopteryx serripennis. Rough-winged Swal- 

 low. — Rather rare and irregularly distributed summer resident. 

 It is said to be not common near Washington but may be found 

 along the river in the neighborhood of Little Falls where it 

 breeds on the clifts. Mr. Freke saw this species once and prob- 

 ably oftener in Amelia County. I have observed a few at the Blue 

 Ridge Springs, Botetourt County, in the latter part of May. 

 Mr. Scott reports it rare near Coalbui^g, West Virginia, where 

 a single specimen was taken. Mr. Doan says he found it com- 

 mon around Buckhannon and Fairmont, West Virginia. 



22S. Ampelis cedrorum. Cedar Bird. — Common resi- 

 dent of the Virginias, seen at irregular intervals more frequently 

 in autumn. It is the latest of the summer residents to breed. 



229. Lanius borealis. Northern Shrike. — Very rare 

 winter visitor near Washington where a few specimens have been 

 procured. Dr. A. K. Fisher obtained one in Virginia not far 

 from the city, November iith, 1887. 



230. Lanius ludovicianus. Loggerhead Shrike. — Not 

 common in eastern Virginia. Several specimens have been 

 taken near Wasliington where it is rare. Mr. Freke reports it as 

 by no means common in Amelia County, where he took a pair 

 on March i6tli and 20th and has occasionally seen a solitary in- 

 dividual in other years. Mr. Seimett noticed it exposed for sale 

 in the market of Norfolk, March 28, 1885. Mr. Phillips says he 

 found it common in Warwick County, the last week in May, 

 1887. It has also been met with by Lieutenant Wirt Robinson, 

 and a specimen has been taken by Hon. John wS. Wise. 



231. Lanius ludovicianus excubitorides. White-rumped 

 Shrike. — Birds intermediate in plumage between this and ludo- 

 viciamis but approaching more nearly excubitorides have been 

 found in Albemarle County. A perfectly typical excubitorides 

 however has not yet been reported.
